My daddy taught me in this country everyone's the same
|
You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame
|
When it don't go your way
|
|
Now I see all these big shots whinin' on my evening news
|
They say they're losin' billions and it's up to me and you
|
To come runnin' to the rescue
|
|
Well, pardon me if I don't shed a tear
|
But they're sellin' make believe and we don't buy that here
|
|
'Cause in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
|
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town
|
And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground
|
|
Yeah, while they're living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
|
|
Well, that old man's been workin' in that plant most all his life
|
Now his pension plan's been cut in half and he can't afford to die
|
And it's a cryin' shame 'cause he ain't the one to blame
|
|
And when I look down and see those calloused hands
|
Well, let me tell you friend it makes me fightin' mad
|
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
|
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town
|
And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground
|
|
Yeah, while they're livin' it up on Wall Street in that New York City town
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
|
|
In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
|
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town
|
DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground
|
|
Yeah, while they're livin' it up on Wall Street in that New York City town
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
|
In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
|
In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
